| World population is about 7 billion in 2010 and is expected to grow much more. The expected growth is highest in parts of the world that are vulnerable to hunger and adverse climatic conditions, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This then translates into the likely need for more food in these regions. The situation is exacerbated by the lack of appropriate farming technologies and the many constraints limiting production and productivity of major commodities. Apart from hunger, unless the situation is addressed through a holistic approach to research, there is a very real danger that environmental degradation will escalate. UNEP (2009) found that the recent food crisis could even exacerbate in the next decade if there are no explicit answers to... |

| Bioenergy is one option to mitigate climate change in the energy sector. Sustainable bioenergy however faces several challenges. First, there is a widely discussed land competition between food and bioenergy crops. Second, there is a widely neglected competition for biomass between using it as a fertilizer for sustainable agriculture or as feedstock for bioenergy production. Sustainability standards for bioenergy capture several environmental, social and economic aspects and often also land competition, but neglect the agronomic aspects related to the fertilizer use of biomass. Accounting for this, however, the sustainable bioenergy potential seems rather low and may only be realized in biogas production. Such can make much sense, but expectation in... |

| For a successful outcome at COP 15 in Copenhagen in December, viable policy paths for effective climate change mitigation need to be provided. In addition, adaptation is unavoidable. One key point is the integration of agriculture (accounting for 10-12% of global emissions, Smith et al. 2007) in a post-2012 agreement. Its main potential lies in its significant capacity to sequester CO2 in soils, and in its synergies between mitigation and adaptation. This potential is best utilized employing sustainable agricultural practices such as organic agriculture (OA). Conservative estimates of the total mitigation potential of OA amount to 4.5-6.5 Gt CO2eq/yr (of ca. 50 Gt CO2eq total global greenhouse gas emissions). Depending on agricultural management practices,... |

| Dietary patterns have manifold impacts on human health and the environment. Impact assessments are employed to compare impacts of single food items or of diets as a whole, either in their current state or for theoretical scenarios. However, conclusions from impact assessments focusing on theoretical scenarios are diverse, and occasionally even contradicting. The role of animals and types of production are key aspects of these discussions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse the methodological choices that cause these differing conclusions. We find that consideration of food-system-wide consequences of dietary change in the impact assessment, differentiation between land use categories, and production units are central for determining which... |

| Major common production activities on organic soils require drainage, which results in the loss of important ecosystem services such as carbon storage. This paper provides an overview of the farming situation on organic soils in a western region of Switzerland characterized by intensive vegetable farming and therefore by high opportunity costs of adopting sustainable practices on these soils. Based on a review of the academic and grey literature and interviews with regional experts, we find that the main challenges to a change in management practices include the profitability of the current land use, the difficult economic environment of farmers, the cultural background associated with the region, and the absence of systematic data on soil properties. We... |

| Die zunehmende Relevanz biomassebasierter Treibstoffe führt zu verstärktem Interesse an verschiedenen Pflanzen als Energielieferant (z.B. Mais und Zuckerrohr für Bio-Ethanol, oder Raps und Ölpalmen für Biodiesel). Ein grosses Potential für den Süden wird dabei Jatropha curcas, einer Pflanze mit sehr ölreichen Samen, zugesprochen. Gleichzeitig wird jedoch auch starke Kritik am Anbau von Jatropha geäussert. Dieses Merkblatt stellt das vorhandene Wissen zu Jatropha zusammen, betont die möglichen Vorteile, Nachteile und Wissenslücken, und gibt weiterführende Referenzen für eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung damit an. |

| Climate change increases the number of risks for agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions, especially in Western Africa. Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable to climate change risks. These risks affect their socioeconomic situation, as well as the local food sector value chain in general. Therefore, their food security is threatened if smallholder farming structures do not adapt to them. Thus, effective climate change adaptation measures for smallholders are essential and should be implemented without delay. However, success hinges on the acceptance of the promoted measures among various stakeholders. Thus, their acceptance needs to be assessed before promoting. The project “The potential of sustainable land-use systems to promote... |

| Im folgenden Bericht wird eine erste Analyse verschiedener Bausteine sowie eine gesamthafte Beurteilung des Potenzials einer benchmarkbasierten Methodologie unternommen, um bodenbürtige Lachgasemissionen aus der Landwirtschaft zu reduzieren und daraus CO2-Zertifikate für die Kompensation unter den Aktivitäten der Stiftung KliK zu generieren. Der Fokus in diesem Bericht liegt auf einem neuen Berechnungstool für bodenbürtige Lachgasemissionen auf der Ebene von Landwirtschaftsbetrieben als grundlegender Baustein für entsprechende Offset-Methodologien. Dies ist der Abschlussbericht einer Vorstudie zu dieser Thematik, der bei positiver Beurteilung des Potenzials dieses Zugangs eine vertiefte Hauptstudie und Umsetzungsphase für eine solche... |

| While the role of livestock in sustainable food systems is heavily debated, recent studies show that livestock can contribute to global nutrition security by converting leftover streams – products humans cannot or do not want to eat - into animal-source food (ASF). Where these studies clearly underpin livestock’s role in global food security, the current study aims to identify which combination of livestock systems, differing in production level, can optimally convert leftover streams into protein. To this end, we developed an optimization model containing a variety of livestock systems (pigs, dairy cattle, beef cattle, laying hens and broilers), differing in production level (low, mid and high), to enable better utilization of the various (low quality)... |

| Das vorliegende Papier hat zum Ziel, den aktuellen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zum volkswirtschaftlichen Nutzen der Bio-Landwirtschaft durch gesellschaftliche Leistungen in Österreich zusammenzustellen. Dabei wurde versucht, soweit wie möglich auf österreichische Studien zurückzugreifen. Falls keine österreichischen Studien vorlagen, wurden internationale Studien herangezogen. Aufgrund dieser Fakten wurden sieben Schlussfolgerungen gezogen, die die derzeitige gesellschaftliche Diskussion um die Reform der österreichischen Agrarumweltpolitik versachlichen und ihr neue Impulse geben sollen. Die Kernthese des vorliegenden Papiers ist, dass die biologische Landwirtschaft mit vergleichsweise geringen gesellschaftlichen Kosten einen höheren... |

| No-tillage farming systems or no-till, as an aspect of conservation farming, are actively promoted by international research and development organizations to conserve soils and by this, ensure food security, biodiversity and water conservation. Instead of tilling before seeding, seeds are deposited directly into untilled soil by opening a narrow slot trench or band. Today, it is also seen as mitigation and adaptation option and thus being promoted as a measure to be supported under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). There are even many voices advocating no-till to benefit from any future and existing carbon market. But: Is no-till the solution to reduce the hunger in the world and to mitigate climate change? It has been... |
